I never saw the dog.

All I saw was butt and wondered, is that one of those women in MIA who went for butt filler to make their butt more round and the fake doctor used concrete?

Right on Sailing, we're saying the same thing...

Speaking of Continental, their work rules and schedules are inferior to ours, but one thing they have over us that I would like to see in our next contract for reserves is the ability to aggressively pick up a trip. Here at Delta we put in a yellow slip request, and then they may or may not even look at the trip we are requesting. At Continental the long call pick up window I believe starts at 11 am and once they have that trip for the next day they have no further obligation until that check in time. The short call agressive pick up window then starts at noon, but their short calls are still given a call period, but once they pick it up it is on their schedule, like a line holder picking up a trip, rather than a request to scheduling like we have.

And fly even more, just ask ACL how much he worked last summer. Plus you get to do 24 hour short calls.

Go Saints

Must be for all that extra flying that's coming our way from the LGA slot swap.


Is that systemwide? or within a specific base?

Looks like a lot of the FEB schedules are out.

Viewable if you replace "jan" with "feb" in the link from your last months schedule.
